    I checked everything I could and finally noticed that when the
    splitter was attached to the ball hitch on my butt buggy, the front
    was angled about 6" lower than level. I disconnected from the butt
    buggy and put it on its stand so it was level, problem solved. 
    Still curious how the oil got from crankcase to above the piston.
    The only thing I can think of is rings or valves.<br>

      Yeah, i guess that doesn't explain the oil in the cylinder. It
      would have to be a serious amount of oil to fill up the cylinder
      enough to run out of the muffler though. I can't imagine what is
      going on.

              Hi Cecil, This engine has the valves in the block so not
              an OHV situation. What I find interesting is that it
              continues to leak even though it has not been run. <br>

                  List seems really slow lately, so I have a question
                  about my wood splitter. It's a Huskee 22 ton, with a
                  Briggs and Stratton 675, 190cc engine. I noticed the
                  other day that it had oil leaking from the bottom. At
                  first I assumed it was hydro fluid, but it turned out
                  to be engine oil that was leaking from where the
                  muffler is bolted to the block. I took the muffler off
                  and cleaned the surface, looked for sources for the
                  leak, and found none. It still leaked and this is
                  without the engine being run for about a week. I snuck
                  a piece of cardboard under it, and the leak is still
                  active, muffler area is wet again. I checked the oil
                  for overfill, and it is fine, air cleaner is fine, but
                  a little dirty. I pulled the spark plug and looked in
                  the cylinder, everything was OK, <u>except</u> there
                  was a puddle of clean oil in the bottom of the
                  cylinder. Any thoughts would be appreciated, This
                  splitter is only about 7 years old and has maintained
                  well, and housed. <br>
